it depends on the 4cyl. if it's a 2.3 quad 4 stay away from it. if it's a 2.5 liter tech 4 they're a decent car. check for excessive blow by[ oil in the air breather] also look at the front of the block behind the exhaust manifold for traces of antifreeze leaking from the head gasket. there was a problem with broken head bolts in this area. we replaced a lot of them with out pulling the head. if the engine's quiet when it runs and doesn't show any of the above symptoms it's probably a good one. those cars were prone to rust under the moldings and when they started they went quick so look it over carefully. btw, the 6cyl cars are a major pita to work on. mike

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
